Special Session of EuroPVM/MPI 2003: Current Trends in Numerical Simulation for Parallel Engineering Environments ParSim 2003

摘要

Simulating practical problems in engineering disciplines has become a key field for the use of parallel programming environments. Remarkable progress in both CPU power and network technology has been paralleled by developments in numerical simulation and software integration resulting in the support for a large variety of engineering applications. Besides these traditional approaches for parallel simulation and their constant improvement, the appearance of new paradigms like Computational Grids or E-Services has introduced new opportunities and challenges for parallel computation in the field of engineering.
